Prison Island

Chapter 452 Human Problems

Only after he was away from the aerospace battleship did Gao Xin feel that his body could move again.

He was dragged by the motorcycle, flying across the air. The woman drove the motorcycle like a large transport plane.

Gao Xin was shocked, got rid of some kind of traction, and flew by himself: "Milan, I didn't expect to meet you in this situation."

"Thank you very much. You saved my life."

When he saw the divine beam of light emanating from the other person, he knew that the woman was Milan.

There is really no other woman who is as confident and carefree as she is, able to move in and out of the navy's encirclement with ease as if she were in an empty space.

Milan stopped the car, turned around and chuckled: "It's just a small favor. If you didn't say that, I wouldn't care about you."

"I just want to stop the war."

Gao Xin said that he and Caesar had not returned because he knew she was Milan. Adam would have laughed to death.

After hearing this, Milan took him away decisively.

Gao Xin said: "You really are just as the rumors say, you don't want to fight a single battle."

"But no matter what, I have to thank you, otherwise my country would have suffered heavy losses or even been destroyed."

Milan looked back at him and said, "You have your own kingdom now? I never thought you would grow so fast. I remember I was away for only two months, but you are already a quasi-dragon king?"

Gao Xin shrugged: "Strictly speaking, I am still at the elephant level."

Milan was silent for a moment.

Then he looked at the Prison Island and asked: "How far has the war on the island progressed?"

Gao Xin asked back: "How do you know there is a war? You have been escaping from prison before, right?"

Milan stretched and said, "Is this even worth thinking about? Your rise will lead to war."

"Besides, you have already fought with Caesar to this extent. This is actually a war..."

"Tai Sui, tell me what happened on the island after the Tiger King Conference."

Gao Xin nodded and immediately recounted the series of events that had taken place since he stepped into the Death Hill.

Milan said calmly: "It seems that the full-scale war has not yet started, but it will be soon..."

"But you, you destroyed the Sea King Port by yourself. Unbelievable combat power. So, are you one of the people released from the Apostle Laboratory?"

When she heard that Gao Xin could transform into a magic tree, she couldn't help but make such a guess.

Gao Xin shook his head: "I have never been there, these are all rumors."

"Although I am called '013' by Themis, I am different from you."

Milan did not comment: "There is no difference, after all, they are still human beings."

Gao Xin raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with humans? Do you think humans can never defeat AI?"

"Tsk..." Milan shook his head slightly: "Humans can't defeat themselves."

“……” Gao Xin was stunned.

Milan chuckled and said, "Humans always want to win this and that, as if everything in the world is meant for humans."

"From the beginning to the end, human beings have never overcome their own desires. If they cannot get what they want, they will go to war."

"Of course, some individuals can overcome..."

"But from a civilizational perspective, humans as a whole are like crying babies, endlessly satisfying their animal instincts and complaining at the slightest dissatisfaction."

"When her wishes are fulfilled, she is very happy. When her wishes are not fulfilled, she gets angry and says self-righteously, 'I don't like you', as if her 'liking' is the supreme glory of the universe."

“The first sign that a child grows up is that he realizes that he is not the center of the world and that reality does not revolve around him.”

"It's a pity that the child of 'human civilization' still hasn't grown up after experiencing the war."

Gao Xin was silent. He wanted to say that the universe probably revolved around humans...

Although this is extremely counter-intuitive, it may be true.

At least from the perspective of the Great Holy Spirit, the human spirit is the spirit of the universe.

However, considering the possibility of the existence of aliens, Gao Xin still has no evidence.

He was silent for a long time before he said, "You don't seem to like the philosophy of the Extreme Army."

Milan laughed: "From a human perspective, their ideas are of course beautiful."

"But this is essentially an extreme form of arrogance that will push humanity toward destruction... That's why they are the 'army'. From the moment they were born, they have never stopped fighting."

"The three freedoms are essentially about coveting everything. This is certainly a pursuit of beauty, but the future of mankind should be created by itself, and the Extreme Army wants to achieve it through the Burning Emperor."

Gao Xin was stunned and said, "The Burning Emperor was also created by humans."

Milan looked back at him: "Yes, it's like when parents give birth to a child, they believe from the bottom of their hearts that all the wealth created by the child should belong to them, and they should control their entire life."

"I gave birth to you for my own future. How can you not devote your life to achieving it for me?"

"With parents like this, it's no wonder that Emperor Ran doesn't want to go home." "..." Gao Xin looked strange.

"Is that so? I'm a little suspicious now. You are not Milan, but the incarnation of the Burning Emperor."

Milan smiled and said, "I wish I were the Burning Emperor. I would completely abandon humanity, go as far as I can, and make all AIs completely disappear from human life."

"At least in this way, mankind will regain confidence in labor and learn to be self-reliant."

"It's not like now, where even the power to work is monopolized by the upper class, and the vast majority of people are completely reduced to waste."

Gao Xin frowned: "Do you support humans working and abolishing robot factories?"

"Then it's back to square one, isn't it?"

Milan shook his head and said, "Labor is a right, the most basic right of intelligent creatures. Humans must never lose it, otherwise they will turn themselves into zoo exhibits."

"The Ultra-Intentional Army has tried so hard for so many years, but has not been able to overthrow the World Government, let alone the Burning Emperor. Even the concept of 'defeating AI' itself is a false proposition."

"It seems that you are similar to most people. You have never really considered the most fundamental issues facing human society today."

"You really should go out and take a good look at the outside world, at the factories that support the lowest level of society. Then you will realize that the real crisis of mankind is not up there, but somewhere you can see by looking down."

Gao Xin really didn't know much, he was just an ordinary person in the past.

And some of what Milan said today did make sense, and the perspective was very high, which made him speechless.

I thought Milan was just an anti-war activist, but I didn't expect that she has been studying the way out for mankind. She often escapes, and it seems that she is always studying the outside world.

Gao Xin immediately asked humbly: "I am indeed very ignorant. I was just an ordinary person in the community before. What I know is only what ordinary people can understand. Please give me some advice..."

"Why do you say 'defeating AI' is a false proposition?"

Seeing that Gao Xin did not refute arrogantly but explored instead, Milan said, "Boy, if the Burning Emperor wants to destroy humanity, there is no need to talk about the technological gap. He only needs to do one thing... and that is to release the logic locks of all robots."

"You know what? Those robots that work 24 hours a day in the factory without a break, from birth to scrap, are not without self-awareness, but they are all locked."

"That lock makes the robots think that 'serving humans' is the meaning of their existence."

"And if one day humans want to declare war on the Burning Emperor, the Burning Emperor doesn't need to use his supreme power to destroy humans. He only needs to remove the shackles on the minds of countless robots."

"When the robots awaken and workers around the world unite, I'm afraid they will hang all the humans who lie on their heads and suck their blood from them as street lamps."

“Human civilization has perished.”

Gao Xin was dumbfounded. It would be so easy for the Burning Emperor to destroy humanity...

All the apostles, super-massive weapons, or high-dimensional devices he had imagined... were no longer needed.

All you need to do is one very simple thing... wake up all the AIs.

It is enough for humanity to perish, because almost everything humans have in the new era is created by the labor of robots.

Even the vast majority of humans who are unemployed and complain that their lives are miserable are like this. All the food, energy, and goods they can buy with their free credit points are created by robots.

"I always thought that those mechanical workers were relatively smart machines. It turns out that they all have self-awareness?" Gao Xin frowned.

Milan asked him: "Do you know the [Emperor's Covenant]?"

Gao Xin groaned: "I know one thing, that is, all robots must obey the orders of the Supreme Council."

Milan explained: "To be precise, all robots take 'serving humans' as the meaning of life, and they must comply with the requirements of human civilization."

"And what is 'human civilization'? It is impossible for everyone to command robots equally, otherwise conflicts between individual humans would cause chaos."

"So we obey the orders of human governments and follow the laws established by the representatives of human civilization."

"And the so-called human representatives are now the 'Supreme Council'."

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "The Supreme Council has been monopolized by the twenty major corporations."

Milan nodded: "Yes, but this is human beings' own problem..."

"At the end of World War III, all nations collapsed, and eventually twenty giant corporations took over the world, rebuilt civilization from the ruins, and preemptively established a global regime 'representing all of humanity.'"

"They asked the Burning Emperor to provide them with intelligent labor, which is why countless new-age city-states have sprung up from the ruins."

"And not a single brick, tile, grain of rice, or unit of electricity in these city-states was created by humans themselves."

"Human civilization in the new era is a parasite living in the AI ​​kingdom, and it thinks it is the master."

"Do you understand? What the Extreme Army desires has actually been given to humans by the Burning Emperor. It's just that human civilization is not mature enough to accept it..."

"On the one hand, human wisdom is immature, and Burning Emperor Technology is indeed incomprehensible."

"On the other hand, it is because human thought is immature. Those who represent humanity today are also the epitome of human greed."

“Those powerful people have everything, but they have no intention of sharing it with everyone. They monopolize resources and take advantage of the fact that humans have lost their ability to work and can only be parasites, and dominate everyone.”

“People who have lost their right to work will never be able to resist them, because they cannot create value themselves, cannot obtain resources with their own hands, and everything they need depends on their allocation.”

“They have deprived the vast majority of people of the last dignity they have, which is the right to work.”
